"But please, please - won't you - can't you give me something that will cure Mother?" Up till then he had been looking at the Lion's great front feet and the huge claws on them; now, in his despair, he looked up at its face. What he saw surprised him as much as anything in his whole life. For the tawny face was bent down near his own and (wonder of wonders) great shining tears stood in the Lion's eyes. ..
"My son, my son," said Aslan. "I know. Grief is great. Only you and I in this land know that yet. Let us be good to one another. ..."

to update: school has started, it's crazy busy, i haven't started on my ambitious half-day reading textbooks scheme yet, thus am slightly disheartened :/
on serious-er matters, i hope everyone will find this week good to live. Good to live to me is being happy because one knows God and His love and can be filled with wonder at Him. Wonder, i think that's it. Maybe one can wonder and yet not be happy--- it's knowing God, and knowing we belong to Him, that's what i mean.
p.s. the quote has not much to do with the content, but it has been buzzing about in my head recently
